4. Iyov has a useful post on how to re-enable "Search Inside the Book" at Amazon.com, using Firefox. I tried to access a book on Amazon a few days ago, and mistakenly thought that Amazon had removed this feature.
   
5. Winifred over at What's Bothering Artscroll notes the lack of trup in the Artscroll Ohel Sarah Women's Siddur. I would guess that medakdekim means meticulous rather then grammarians, in this context, and that Artscroll figured that since Orthodox women do not prepare for their bar mitzvah, the vast majority of their readers would not only not be actually reading the trup (as it was not their parents' custom or communities' custom), but would not be able to make sense of the trup even if they were so inclined. Still, an interesting point.
